Table 1 Fire statistics for observational records in each pyrome over the contemporary calibration period (1992–2015). Average fire size and frequency statistics are from the Short (2017) database. The 80th % ERC threshold is calculated from ERC values for the gridMET pixel coinciding with the Fort Hunter Ligget RAWS (Central Coastal) and the Chilao RAWS (Southern Coastal)
